Thanks and I’d love to hear more if you’re actively working on these sorts of projects.

I didn’t try it myself. I saw a few gems and several blog posts of people saying that they were managed to do it. I can believe that it wasn’t a smooth integration.
What did stop you from using JRuby in that case?

Agree.

Thanks,

You’ve gotten Sybase database connectivity from MRI, not jruby?

PLEASE write a tutorial on that, including what version(s) of Sybase your methods are known to work for!

I’ve spent so much time trying and failing to get that to happen (or getting code that worked in 1.8.7 but broke in 1.9.3, or broke when a dependency was upgraded, etc. (RIP, the now unsupported ruby DBI)).

Yes, integration work is a special kind of challenge, which the online ruby community in general often does not work in.

(And yes, I end up writing at least little shims in jruby when I have to, but prefer to stay in MRI when I can).
